ABOUT ‘alex’:
‘Alex’ and I grew up in a so-called beach town. Same school, same career path.
The only difference was that she was into Girls and I was into her.

I don’t want to go into too much depth about this first single.
If you listen carefully I think you will catch on pretty quickly what it is about.

The chorus’ gets a little existential, asking the question what happens when you realise that everything you love is going to die?
It calls out the inevitable, cherish what you’ve got I’d say.

LYRICS
V1:
if i could call you alex
if i could stop overthinking
in my own head
i’ve fallen victim again
when you wear that
white shirt, short skirt
baby tee, t shirt
you look so good
but are you trying to impress her
yeah i think you’ll impress her

CH:
what happens when you realise
that everything you love is going to die?
and you’re left wondering why
what happens when you realise
that everything you love is going to die?
and you’re left wondering why

V2:
you could drop me off into the sky
pinch me till i’m sick, i’ll just call it a bad night
yeah i’ll play the bad guy
cause’ you’re a
cinematic, cynical city slicker 90s girl
from a so called beach town,
feel like that’s all i know
well really who knows?

CH:
what happens when you realise
that everything you love is going to die?
and you’re left wondering why
what happens when you realise
that everything you love is going to die?
and you’re left wondering why

BRIDGE
when you wear that
white shirt, short skirt
baby tee, t shirt
you look so good
but are you trying to impress her
yeah i think you’ll impress her

CH:
what happens when you realise
that everything you love is going to die?
and you’re left wondering why
what happens when you realise
that everything you love is going to die?
and you’re left wondering why
